My haul of cooking charcoal drying off after converting some wood waste from around the property.

I also got 3 wheelbarrows of smaller fine charcoal which went into the vegetable garden.

I'm starting to think about producing plant food at home again after becoming disinterested in it due my carnivore experiment. I think animals are a critical aspect that I neglected when I first looked at permaculture. I think perennial fruit trees, annual fruits, herbs & spices are worthwhile growing.

I'm shifting away from fruit trees and going more for nuts and avocado.

I planted 2 avocados last week. I lost 2 seedlings last year to the floods. I'm hoping the charcoal will help with drainage.

If you can grow avocados, you can probably grow macadamias. They're about the only nut that has a decent fatty acid profile (ie not PUFA dominant).

I haven't had a lot of joy with the coconut I planted, but it's a lovely Palm.

Yeah I've got some macadamias in and trying to sprout some more. My dad has a mature tree that really produces, he's on the Adelaide Plains though and we are up in the hills, so they don't love it up here.
